Holiday Haul Part 2: The Black Friday EDITION

So Black Friday for makeup  was a partial bust. I got a few things but got disappointed on some others. So let's start with what I did get.So of course what would be a Black Friday with out something from MAC. So I only ordered two items. The first in the gold packaging is the Prabal Gurung lip gloss in the color Ultramarine Pink. Now this collection was very pricey I must admit. There are two other lipglasses. There was 3 lipsticks that are now all sold out, eye pencils, eye shadows and more some of which is sold out. The cheapest item in this collection was $20 and the highest priced item was$70. The lipglass that I chose was $30. I loved the gold packaging on this and the color is so pretty. 

The second item is the Smoky Black Friday veluxe pearlfusion shadow trio. Now if you are a MAC shopper you know every Black Friday there has been something to compliment the day. This year is the shadow which is a creamy formula whether used wet for for a super boost of color or dry for a more sheer look you will definitely achieve an amazing smoky look. It is still available for $25. I won't say this is a must have item because you can get these shades in cheaper trios but if you are a MAC lover like I am it was a nice addition to my collection of Black Friday items I have purchased. 

The next item I purchased on Black Friday was from my second favorite; Urban Decay. Yes Divas this set is definitely worth it. If you are looking for something that has a little of everything this is it. Now I will say I wish there was a pop of color in the shadows but before I get to that let me show you what I am talking about.

 This is the limited edition Get Naked on the Run palette. This is gorgeous packaging. Great for travel, this has a little bit of everything you need. I do wish it came with a travel size eye potion primer but for the value you get a lot.

 So this is the inside of case. You get a perversion mascara, 24/7 eye liner in the shade, a lipgloss in the shade Sesso Naked Lipgloss, 5 eye shadows; Dive, Fix, Resist, Dare, and Stun, a bronzer, blush and highlight. I took this with me last weekend on a trip to South Carolina. It fit in my train case and cut back on some of what I needed. It was a great compliment to my other palettes that I used that weekend. It is now available at Ulta and Sephora for $54 or you can still order it directly from Urban Decay.

So to my on to my disappointment. So I placed a order with ulta. Lorac had put out two palettes that were only exclusive to Ulta for Black Friday. So I go to place my order and one of the palettes sold out before I could place order so I was able to get the other one. Later during the week I get a email that the palette was sold out and they couldn't fill my order even though I had see it was available in my cart and I could purchase. The nice side was Ulta sent me a $20 e-gift card to use. What I did get was these items from NYX.  On the left is Transylvania and on the right is Copenhagen soft matte lip creams.

So my next disappointment came not on Black Friday but on the 4th. So urban decay was putting out a limited edition vice palette that day at 1p.m. So I got a email earlier in the day but you couldn't add the palette to the basket still. So 1 rolls around and I have my phone close by. I was getting ready for the ball at the same time. I went to add the palette and it was sold out. 

This was the limited vice palette. 😟 I was so sad I did not get it. Look at those colors. In the end I had a okay haul. So until next time Divas. Stay tuned for more. Check out my video of the haul.

Holiday Haul Part 1

Seasons Greetings my fabolous makeup junkie Divas. I absolutely love the holiday's, but never knew I would love makeup shopping during the holiday's. Omg did I get some great deals. This stuff just so you guys know is pre thanksgiving and pre Black Friday. I will have a separate blog report and video for my Black Friday haul. Let's dive in

So we start with my fav cosmetic company MAC! This is their heirloom collection. When I saw it online I just knew I had to have it and be able to get a piece of this holiday collection. In the box is a makeup bag, mascara, eyeliner and a eyeshadow duo. It's called the plum eye bag. It was $39.50. I believe you can still get this set on the website or even in a MAC store. I also got two lipsticks, a creamesheen and the nude/coral lipgloss set.

The first lipstick is like a dark burgundy color called tribalist(I swatched this in my video). Next to it is a color not new to this collection, it's rebel. Underneath those two is the creamesheen courting chic. It looks like a dark red that gives off purple/blue tones. To the right is the nude/coral set that includes 3 creamesheens and one dazzle glass. The lipsticks were $16 each, creamesheen $22 I believe and the lip set was $35  I absolutely love the colors that I got. Thinking of grabbing more from this collection before it is gone. The creamesheen glosses feel creamy and not sticky. Nice to compliment any holiday look.

Now this was not a holiday item. This palette had been out for a while and I just couldn't get it in store while I was home in NY. Just look at the packaging. It is beautiful and rich. This is the Tamanna dress your face palette from Anastasia of Beverly Hills.

Look at these beautiful colors. So pretty for the fall into winter. I can't wait to try this palette. It is so rich. It is going to be fun. This palette comes with a mirror and a double sided brush.

Of course I had to order from BhCosmetics. This wasn't a holiday sale and none of this is holiday but they had a really good sale. I wish I could have brought this video earlier but by time I got this stuff the sale was over anyway. It had to be one of their really good deals sales. I have to say follow them either on IG or go to the website and sign up for emails. They always have great deals, I got the new forever nude contour, highlight and blush palette, the wild child palette, a 15 piece brush set that came in that beautiful brown and bronze brush fold and I got the 10 piece contour brush set. I have to take them out of the plastic pouch they came in cause it smells horrible but the brushes are great. Nice and soft also.

 These are amazing. I got them from colourpop. Now you are probably saying "colourpop who?" Yes Divas! I first heard about this company on YouTube of course. I saw one of platinum_d's videos showing these and liked them so much after I watched I went on to there site and ordered. These have a great color payoff and they are only $5 each. Yes I said it $5 plus they gave me a coupon code just for signing up for emails.

 Here are the swatches of the colors that I received. From left to right; leather, feminist, creature and flawless. You do not have to use the pencils with their corresponding lippie stick but they are definitely great with their corresponding color. I love these and the price can't beat it.

 So this is a holiday item. I hope many of you caught the video but if you didn't go to TARGET.com now and order this beautiful brush set. I missed the 15 year anniversary set so I was not missing these. I went to target before they put them out and didn't see them. Lol figured they either weren't getting them or they went that fast. So went online and ordered them but went to target again another day for something else and they had them....smh but I digress. The end result is I got my brushes and they are fabulous.

 Now this is the last of the haul. These are not holiday. These came out a while ago but I couldn't find them in store. I didn't want to order them but you can if you can't find at your local beauty supply store from ikatehouse.com. There were 12 new colors and I got 7 of them.......

Here are the swatches of the lip paints. As you can see they are well pigmented. From left to right tempt, darling, seduce, whimsical, whisper, peony and gleam. These do not dry matte so if that is your preference these are not for you. At $2.99 a piece they are great if you like a non traditional lipstick. Just toss in your bag and go. Anyway my fab Divas. I hope you enjoyed my haul lol or atleast part one of it. Stay tuned for part 2. In the mean time stay fab.
